Your checkpoint

A timed 60-question set scored at 70% or better with a categorized error log and a one-page formula sheet

Week 5

Operations and supply chain management & Data analysis and digital business

  • Map a production or service process end to end, identify the bottleneck and calculate its capacity

  • Set an inventory policy using EOQ and safety stock, and state the assumptions behind each

  • Define six operational and commercial KPIs, state their formulas and design a dashboard layout that shows them
